A 30 second video showing a boy teaching his sister to play basketball has gone viral around the world.
In the clip, the girl is seen trying to get the ball in to the basket, but it rolls back and drops on to her face. The girl cries and her brother steps forward to hug and kiss her, saying, "It's OK, you're strong!"
The brother then offers to carry his sister, giving her the ball and lifting her to reach the basket, before clapping when the ball hits the target.
The clip has been viewed over 14 million times in 6 days and the boy has been called "Brother of the year" on twitter.
What do you see in the picture?
What is happening?
What do you think the story is?
- Why did the girl find basketball difficult? Because of her gender of because of her age?
- Why is the boy better at basketball? (age and height)
- When the girl fails, why doesn't the boy laugh at her?
- The boy could have said, "Basketball is for boys!" why doesn't he say that?
- Why does the boy say, "It's OK, you're strong!"
- When the boy tells his sister she is strong, she stops crying - why?
- Why does he pick her up rather than encouraging her to try again on her own?
- Why has this clip gone viral?
- Why has the boy been called "Brother of the year"?
- What can we learn from the boy?
- Why is this story about No Outsiders? (Because the girl felt like an outsider when she couldn't do it. She needed a bit of extra help because of her age and ability and the brother made sure he gave her the right support. he made sure she no longer felt like an outsider)
In upper KS2/3 add this question:
This is a good example of equality and equity. What is the difference?
- equality is where everyone is treated the same, equity is when everyone is treated fairly.
- the two children have different needs to get the basketball in the net; if they are both treated the same, one will find more difficulty because of age and height.
- sometimes different people need different strategies to achieve the same outcome
- in order to make the game fair, the girl needs more help; the boy is making sure her needs are met.
